thats a slick looking bow. good looking tiller. personally i would probably find it very distracting having a window behind my tiller tree  ;D prob pretty relaxing as well.

Nice looking bow, but it's vey difficult to see your tiller at full draw, with the window in the background.

Nice looking bow.  I like the idea for the ID tag off the grip, is it antler?  On your full draw pic on the tree, it looks like you're getting close to a 90o string angle.

Nice bow!  Tiller looks good....I like maple from the little I've used it, and I plan to use it more.

Got your neat little maple bow bookmarked for May Self BOM fun. Upload another full draw if you get the time.

Bow looks great! The tip overlays look more like purpleheart to me. Any Brazilian rosewood I've worked work (for guitars and such) is much darker brown. Of course it could be just the light of the camera shot.
